  • New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill 11 French Drive Boylston, MA 01505-0598 (map)

The flag book is a unique and sculptural book form: as you open the book the flags inside move, which changes the viewing experience based on how much the book is opened or closed.  In this three hour workshop, you will make your own flag book, which is perfect to display your own eco-printed or cyanotype art, or a series of photographs/drawings.

Invented by Hedi Kyle a flag book is a type of sculptural artist book. It is a great form to display some of your artwork and art papers. Based on a simple accordion book structure vou will learn step-by-step how to create this innovative and stunning book. It is a versatile structure that allows you to attach drawings, photographs, text, fabric, or other materials to the flags in an open creative narrative

Gather up your paper scraps, photos, or cut up an old print to create something new. Each student will leave with their own flag book. All essential materials and tools are provided.
